This month has come in like a lion, true to the famous saying. I feel like it has been cold for so long! Whenever the warm sun pours through the windows in my house I bathe in it like a cat on a lazy afternoon. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit so that we can get outside. The mornings are so cold (-37 today) and the kids had more snow days than I'd like to count last month. They were lucky enough to be off school today for a different reason though and enjoyed relaxing and playing together. I find that they are so wiped by the time Friday rolls around. I spent the day side stepping an obstacle course in my hallway of laundry baskets that needed to be washed or folded and odds and ends that needed to be put away in the bedrooms. There was an overturned stool outside the bathroom door and the vacuum hose slithered the length of the hallway like a snake waiting to attack at any given moment. It takes skill to walk in a house full of children without tripping on toys or slicing your foot on bits of lego strewn all over the living room. The army men defending the couch managed to prick my bare feet (I hate socks) more times than I'd like to admit. The mudroom was carpeted with soggy snow gear and the sink kept piling with dishes. Bellies constantly need feeding and cookies are baked daily. By the time dinner rolls around I'm exhausted!
